Overview
- The suite is available now to U.S. Claude Pro and Max subscribers with no waitlist, with Apple Health and Android Health Connect integrations rolling out in beta this week.
- Consumers can connect electronic medical records via HealthEx and Function Health so Claude can explain labs and summarize history, with data excluded from model memory and training and permissions revocable at any time.
- New connectors to the CMS Coverage Database, ICD‑10, the National Provider Identifier Registry and PubMed support tasks such as prior authorization reviews, claims appeals, care coordination and patient message triage, with sample Agent Skills including FHIR development.
- Life‑sciences additions link to Medidata, ClinicalTrials.gov, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Open Targets and ChEMBL to aid clinical‑trial and regulatory work, with an Anthropic demo showing a Phase II protocol draft cut from days to about an hour.
- Anthropic cites improved performance from Claude Opus 4.5 and an extended‑thinking variant and requires qualified professional review for high‑risk medical uses, as the launch intensifies competition with OpenAI’s recent ChatGPT Health.
